[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1339621, member: 24098"] Thanks for sharing your solution. SMTP is the protocol used for outgoing mail from the client. SSL authentication simply means that the username/password are encrypted. Ports are just the particular port number that a given protocol communicates over. For example, SMTP typically uses port 25 - you sometimes need to change the port to match what the provider uses. POP3 (Post Office Protocol) is for incoming mail. IMAP, essentially supersedes POP3 and has additional features, such as read/unread and delete status synchronization across devices. Understanding the terminology is important, because once you do, you'll be more effective at troubleshooting issues like this. For email, the most important are SMTP, POP3 and IMAP. Once you know what all three are, the rest is pretty easy to understand. [/QUOTE]
